My friend Bini took the bait and signed on with Transtech. She was in tears at the end of her first day - nothing but difficult ESLs.  Before the zombies attack let me state that every place has ESLs and somebuddy going to be dooin' them, every place, every time, every place. I am not condemning the company, just wish people would not praise is as da promised land.

I was commenting on how companies go in and out of favor.  I am a battle-weary oldtimer like yourself.  I fortunately have not had anything like the disasters like you have had, but am too searching wearily for a decent company. I don't believe any recruiter anymore. They tell you what they think you want to hear. You sign up, lose insurance from prior job, and find out you have 98.8% ESLs, all impossible to understand, or you work for an hour and have no work.  and then you go searching again.

You were here on MTStars singing the songs of praise, insisting with a passion that the claims of newbie advantage were wrong.  Yet you went to the company forum asking, "what do these posts mean?"  If you were so positive that nothing said was true, why are you asking "what the posts mean" on the company forum? You would have already known!  And on the flip side, if you have to ask what the posts mean because you're not sure, how can you be insisting none of what I said was true??  That's my point.  If you don't know, why are you so certain you're right - and so willing to call me a liar?

You want specifics?  Look how a person below posted that a newbie can get a raise if they show improvement.  Now go to the company website and check for yourself.  Look and see how long it would take a longterm employee of 5 years or more to get a raise and then figure how many raises the newbie gets in that same time period. THEN tell me the company doesn't favor newbies.  Some of us have been here years with NO raise despite meeting all the "review requirements".  As for other details, I'm not going to be as foolish as the poster below who posted her base line rate publicly, and that's the only way I can prove what I was saying.  I make less than the person below and came in with the same test score, more experience, working on more and harder accounts.  But I'm not putting my base line rate on a public board to get fired, or at the very least a reprimand, just for your satisfaction.

But stop calling me a liar, because you don't look all that truthful yourself saying here that it's best job you've ever had and then crying on the company forum exacty how many lines you made per pay period.  Even if you make 10 dollars a line, how can what you stated you produced be the best job you ever had?? Furthermore, if you're so happy, why come here bashing me because my experience at this point isn't as good as yours, and then whine about yours on the company forum? Please don't even try to convince me that you're not stirring the pot.

giving your employer or former employers client information to this type of person and if they landed a client then you would be paid the commission.  It is a very unethical way of doing business and it is not condoned on this site.

1.  Do not be surprised to find out that many facilities already know that US records are being offshored and simply do not care.

2.  Speak for yourself about taking 1 cent less per line.  Many of these companies are already offering US MTs 6 and 7 CPL.  You think I am willing to work my tail off for 5 or 6 CPL?  No thanks!

Best thing about Medware is XXXX .  She will go overboard to make sure you are happy.  Best thing about Amphion, people are friendly and nice.  You won't make a lot money, though.  Best thing about Spheris... I'm still thinking. 

Please do not post names.  Thank you.  Goldbird

Boss bought it from an MT.  Boss couldn't type, knew next to nothing about computers when we went over to computers...played all kinds of holiday/bonus games involving money and was EXTREMELY cheap and I expect nothing in the life and can still say just how cheap she was and to her 5 closest (most important and highest producers) people in her office.  I left first and then 4 others slowly followed (her 5 best people) and then her biz liquidated (completely went under) which was my plan from the moment I walked out. 

Payback is just SO GREAT, isn't it????  *ROFLMAO*

Now she is a miserable old lady today! 

Maggie had some very good points, but what about companies that you do work as scheduled and then no pay!  I am a very hard working MT and have worked for companies like that!  Also what about working for companies that ships the work to India and you have to sit in front of your computer almost all day and through the afternoon to hope you get enough work to pay your bills and sometimes things change so quickly (no heads-up) you are just caught.  Also with voice recognition, we are paid less, have to produce more and basically depending on the physician, some of the reports we have to type because voice recognition does not, recognize many of the words the physician is dictating.  Also what about the companies that lie straight out, just to get you to work with them.......and there is no work!  I work my but off, almost every holiday, and every weekend (I am making the sacrifices now) so I can pay my bills and I go to school full-time because this industry is going downhill fast and the fault lies with both sides, for the MT who slacks and to the jobs that don't pay on time, treat us like crap, lie, etc.......
